  • Re: Help in identifying a small brilliant blue bird

    You have a Yellow-billed Blue Bunting which has only recently been described.&nbsp; I have proposed the scientific name Passerina xanthorostra (2009 Morlan) and based on observations, it is apparently widespread throughout Eastern North America completely overlapping the range of the Indigo Bunting. &nbsp;&nbsp; Although there have been many ...

  • Re: Blue bird, yellow bill

    Thanks.&nbsp; I found three photos of male Indigo Bunting at: &nbsp;http://www.whatbird.com/forums/photos/mybackyard/default.aspx But none of the three had yellow bills as far as I could see. One bird had a pinkish bill from light shining off it, but none showed the bright banana yellow colored bill as described earlier in this thread and which ...

  • Re: Small Warbler Like Bird

    It's a Blackpoll Warbler.&nbsp; Pine Warbler does not have the dark streaks on the back.&nbsp; Notice also the pink toes, characteristic of Blackpoll Warbler. Nice photo!

  • Re: Please help with ID!

    Sorry, I didn't notice the location either. In fact I think it may have been added later via edit. Usually people put their location in their profile and I didn't see any locality there either. Anyway I think the phobetor was very rude to snowy who is by far one of the most helpful members here if not the most helpful. The confrontational ...

  • Re: Unknown "waterfowl"

    In my opinion, it's clearly a Rock Pigeon.&nbsp; I didn't know they could swim like that, but now I do.&nbsp; Birding is so great.&nbsp; You can always learn something new.

  • Re: help with this one

    Now that's a fine pickle you've got us in, Texas.&nbsp; I am troubled by this bird.&nbsp; The yellow seems to come all the way up to the chest where it blends in with a grayish wash producing a greenish color.&nbsp; Western Kingbird has yellow lower on the belly and not extending all the way up to the throat, the way this bird does. ...

  • Re: What about this one?

    It looks like a member of the ''Oregon'' Junco group to me, not Slate-colored, definitely not Slate-colored which has gray sides and flanks and lacks the abruptly contrasting corners on the sides of the breast. Anyway, Dark-eyed Junco.&nbsp;

  • Re: Need ID assistance

    No problem.&nbsp; These are open discussions and I think it's interesting the way different people weigh different characters.&nbsp; Personally I think the discussion can be more interesting than what the bird actually is.&nbsp; The legs do look dark at first, but I think that they are too thick for a Nashville, which like other Vermivora has ...
